who knew cyprus could affect us all? >> a stunning fall for a skier in washington, plumbing 100 feet, the nail-biter all caught on tape. and, well, if my microphone is not working, bear with me. could you make this shot? pro sergio garcia, up in a tree, at golf's big tournament this weekend. how did it go? we'll let you know. >> a big storm there in orlando. >> we're going to get right to this winter's push. we're going to stop, sam, asking about spring. >> we only had one more snowstorm because we didn't want george to miss it all. he had the week off last week. 25 times it's snowed in washington, d.c. 29 times in new york city. if it feels like you're tired of snow, that's probably why. take a look at the live shots

this morning from twitter and facebook. the washington, d.c., look and philadelphia, as well. we have both of them for you. the d.c. look, the road surfaces there. >> in the 30s in most of these places so road surfaces looking good. a snow accumulation. this continues through tonight, we'll get a little windup on the coastline. that means later on tonight, the temperatures dip, the road conditions get icy. st. louis, 12 inches from this system. denver, 11. this runs from denver to d.c. >> kansas city and there's a look at the totals. now, from the big swirl of snow here on the storm site radar. indiana gets punched, detroit, buffalo, pittsburgh, scranton. we sent our extreme team out. gio benitez is out in indiana. >> good morning, gio. >> reporter: good morning.

>> driving to indianapolis was too dangerous. we passed car after car in ditch after ditch. it's a lot like what you'll find across america right now. it's not your average spring shower. overnight, near whiteout conditions as six inches of snow dumped across parts of indiana. dropping visibility to mere feet and leaving cars sidelined in illinois. this is video of our drive as we tried to make it from chicago to indianapolis. not much later, these roads became too dangerous to continue. this morning, missouri begins to dig out. after high winds left parts of the state with more than a foot of snow. meanwhile, late sunday, 86-mile-an-hour wind gusts ripped through central florida. the only thing flying at this air show, debris. blasts so strong, they burst through the doors at this lowe's store. >> hey, it's -- >> reporter: and ripped the roof

right off this building. more than an inch and a half of rain drenched the course of the arnold palmer invitational. forcing tiger woods to suspend his first place lead. and one florida woman was severely injured when the roof of her home collapsed right on top of her. >> it picked it up and down on her. she was home alone. she had to crawl in, get on a phone, in order to call 911 herself. >> reporter: the snow falling all morning long. clearly still coming down here in indiana. below freezing. it's not going anywhere any time soon. as this heads east, we'll see if we can make the drive. >> good luck, gio. the roads will stay bad there. take a quick look at what we think the totals will be. it's a bigger miss for washington, d.c. there will be snowy surfaces just outside.

that's where david kerley is. >> reporter: it's going to be a mess of a commute and here's the reason why. this winter wonder land of a shot. 3 or 4 inches of snow here already. it will mean a mess of a commute. this is more snow than they had forecast for. an inch or so already in the washington, d.c., area. the commute here is a mess. the only good news, sam, is that it's spring break, believe it or not. it's supposed to melt when we get into the 40s. it should melt away, maybe a nicer commute this afternoon. george, back to you. this seems to be march madness. we're staying in washington. now to the gun debate. >> more than 100 days since the newtown tragedy the ban on assault weapons is going nowhere in congress. president obama is trying to save the rest of his legislation to stop gun violence with help from michael bloomberg. >> reporter: he's the mayor of new york's largest city.

he has the ear of the president on immigration and gun control. he has something many other big city mayors don't -- a personal fortune he's willing to spend. today, pouring $12 million into two commercials supporting background checks for all gun purchases. they'll air in 13 key states from arizona to pennsylvania, where bloomberg believes senators are on the fence. >> i believe in the second amendment, i'll fight to protect it. with rights come responsibilities. that's why i support comprehensive background checks. >> reporter: on his weekly radio show mayor boom burg said he knows he has public support. >> recent polls show 90% of americans support criminal background checks for anyone purchasing a gun. >> reporter: a second commercial called family tries to reassure gun owners that -- >> they have nothing to do with taking guns away from anyone. >> reporter: but the nra opposes the new legislation.

on abc's "this week" karl rove echoed its concerns. >> if there's one thing that scares a lot of people that believe in the second amendment is the federal government keeping a national registry. >> reporter: the senate is expected to vote on what is left of gun control legislation when it returns from recess in april. the assault weapons ban has been dropped from the senate package. >> thank you, jim. let's go to cecilia vega now. >> good to be here. breaking news overnight affecting your money in the stock market. this time it's good news. after frantic last-minute negotiations, leaders have agreed to bail out cyprus which would prevent it from going bankrupt. under terms of the $13 billion deal, one major bank is being forced to close. and only the wealthiest account holders will lose funds. despite what is being called

a spirited discussion, secretary of state john kerry has failed to win any agreement from iraq after a surprise visit to baghdad on sunday. kerry warned the iraqis to stop allowing iran to use air space for flights into syria. the u.s. believes the flights are carrying weapons. for the syrian regime. kerry visits afghanistan today. and the mysterious death of a billionaire russian businessman is raising questions about whether moscow has pulled off a cold war-style poisoning plot. an out spoken critic boris berezovsky was found dead at his apartment. at the scene, a radiation detector went off. a possible motive in the killing of colorado prison official tom clements.

he was shot in his home last tuesday. it may have been revenge for breaking up a white supremacist prison gang. they say suspect evan ebel was a member of that gang and spent years in solitary confinement. thousands of people forced to evacuate their homes after a fast moving brush fire ran out of control in ft. pierce, florida. it was whipped up by heavy winds. a few homes were damaged. thankfully, no injuries reported. take a look at this dramatic video this morning from 5,200 feet up. rescue crews called in to bring a severely injured skier to safety near stevens pass in washington state. the skier had fallen about 100 yards down the slope in an unmarked area. he was flown to the hospital for treatment after being secured in the chopper. unbelievable.

and finally, my favorite story of the morning. where pro golfer sergio garcia found himself. yeah, right there, up in a tree at the arnold palmer invitational. channelling my inner josh elliott. the unfortunate spot where his ball landed, up there in the tree. he made the backhanded shot right onto the fairway. getting to the ground was the hard part. the play was later interrupted for the thunderstorm, like you mentioned. >> can we talk about the second career this guy has in tree-climbing if it doesn't work out. >> and tiger woods in the lead. he could be number one. great to have you here. now to the latest on amanda knox. an italian appeals court is in session trying to decide if she'll face another trial. over the 2007 murder of her roommate. john muller has the latest. good morning, john. >> reporter: today is the day. the end of a six-year legal nightmare or back to step one. a retrial.

all eyes on the italian supreme court. this morning, inside the italian supreme court, prosecutors are making the case that amanda knox and raffaele sollecito should never have been acquitted of meredith kercher and are ordered a retrial. after they were released 18 months ago, prosecutors appealed the lower court's decision, citing contradictions in the rulings. kercher's family supports the appeal telling the media there are still unanswered questions. we're searching for the truth. in a statement to abc news, the knox family says this is another example of harassment by the prosecution. >> we're hopeful and prayerful that they'll render a verdict which will simply say that the apell at court acted properly. >> reporter: the worst outcome? a retrial.

knox's legal team feels that is not likely. >> that appellate court jury determined the evidence to be absent, nonexistent, inaccurate, unreliable, and simply wrong. >> reporter: a verdict the italian supreme court has to evaluate. in seattle, knox is back in class at the university of washington. she spends free time with her boyfriend, her three sisters, or playing the guitar. she dedicated the past year to writing her upcoming memoir. waiting to be heard. in the event that it is overturned, it would set up legal maneuvers for extradition. that could dak take years and be very tricky. she would most likely never set foot on italian soil again. now to the power ball winner, only one, in new jersey, $338 million. a clerk says he talked to the winner. rob nelson is live from the lucky gas station in new jersey. good morning, rob.

>> reporter: good morning, george. we, believe it or not, have been reporting from this truck stop all weekend long, purely by chance. turns out, a truck driver could have made the luckiest stop of his life here. this morning, the hunt for the winner of the $338 million power ball jackpot is heating up. new details are emerging about the location of the sale and the possible winner himself. according to the manager, that winning ticket was sold right here at love's travel stops in new jersey, according to the owner. >> i heard we got the winning ticket, i was like, wow. someone stepped forward and claimed it which i was happy for it. >> reporter: the manager of love's, a routine stop for truckers on interstate 295, says the ticket was most likely sold to a regular customer. >> if i were to see his face, i'm sure i would recognize him. he claimed to be a regular in the store.

>> reporter: the winner reportedly called the store from delaware to say he had the winning ticket. but the call got disconnected. before he could get a name. lottery officials will hold a press conference later today. >> it's a whole new range of possibilities. more than you have ever had before. it's like christmas on steroids. >> reporter: if the mystery man takes the lump sum, that's $211 million in his pocket. he could afford 105 private submarines, 24 private islands, or 17 vintage ferrari testa rosas. dreaming big is part of the power ball fun, even for the more than 80 million of us whose tickets are now worthless. >> a mansion and a yacht. >> high class taste. >> you know it. >> a car where only i can sit in it, not my kids. >> reporter: all good ideas for sure. the winner here in new jersey cannot stay anonymous.

we expect some details at the press conference at 10:00 a.m. eastern time. robin, back to you. >> won't be anonymous for long. all right, rob. now to the cinderella team. little known florida gulf coast beating san diego last night two days after they upset top-seeded georgetown. they've never played in the ncaa tourney before. >> reporter: this morning, a team seeded 15th was welcomed as if it were number one. the story of florida gulf coast university, or fgcu as they're called for short, is as improbable as it is fun to watch. >> we like to get the crowd involved. >> reporter: on a shoestring budget, yes, they pay for their nike uniforms, a star, who had no scholarship offers before walking on to the team -- >> it feels great.

i still can't believe it's happening right now. >> reporter: -- and a coach married to a former model. last night, they did what they do best. they sure know how to dunk. and destroy brackets. less than 1% of the 8.1 million brackets submitted to espn.com had this team making the sweet 16. did we mention they know how to celebrate a big win? forget the basketball program. not many have even heard of the school. it was founded in 1991. >> we knew no one knew who we were or where we were. most people don't know where ft. myers or southwest florida is. >> reporter: but the basketball team has people googling more than ever before. the school had to bolster the servers so it website didn't crash. after looking at this campus, including dorms right on the water and an on-campus spa, it's not hard to see how future basketball players, as well as prospective students, would now see florida gulf coast as an option. stories like these are why they

call it march madness. >> this is unbelievable. did not expect it. >> reporter: this improbable cinderella has replaced a glass slipper with a flip-flop. >> how come i didn't know about this school when i was applying? one guy knew who florida gulf coast was. he bet $10 on the team to win their region at 1,000 to 1 odds. he'll win ten grand if they do it. they have to beat florida on friday and win another game. he's got ten grand for his ten bucks. >> that picture was legit. the dorms are on the beach like that? >> i got it straight from the website. >> darren, thank you. >> hard to believe. >> and the women's tournament, too. a little more march madness. >> i want spring break again. >> spring break every day, yes! >> at florida gulf coast university it is. >> sam? >> let's start with where the cold air is.

the middle of the country, the chilly temperatures. look at the low area of pressure the snow all the way across the country. weakening. it re-forms a bit, heads out to the atlantic. if you're waiting for the warmer shot to final move across the country, it does this week. denver, from a foot of snow to almost 62. dallas, a frost and freezy morning this morning. 75 by thursday. everybody is getting milder temperatures. it's getting through this last chilly week. that's the weather around the nation.

13,000 feet to their deaths. the company behind saturday's jump near tampa says it appears the two men did not attempt to activate their main parachute. even their backup chutes did not fully inflate before the men hit the ground. >> there's a multitude of scenarios. they lost track of altitude, weren't paying attention. distracted by something else going on. who knows? >> reporter: the instructor and his student were part of a group from iceland training and vacationing at skydive city in florida. nearly 20 skydivers went up saturday morning. after the instructor and student jumped, they were nowhere to be found. following a grueling nine-hour search, the pair was located. their bodies found in a wooded area about a mile away from where they were supposed to land. now, authorities are hoping a camera worn by one of the men may be their best clue. >> we're reviewing the tape. we're reviewing anything that

things were a little intense. especially with theresa. where are you now? >> i will have the big bravo machine on my back if i say anything more than it's an unpredictable season. i can sit in the room with all of them. it's so volatile. >> you don't know who is going to blow? >> it's not that you don't know who is going blow. the things change so quickly. there's a lot of self-reflection. a lot of laughter. a lot of tears. there's a loot of drama, obviously. i always say we can never top ourselves, but we do. i speak to that in the book. >> sounds like you have described the book. >> there are certain moments on the show, i look back and say, gee, that's not the caroline that i know. i talk about that. this season, i say it all the time, we're never going to be able to top it. we're never going to be able to top it.

well, we did. >> that's a good tease. the book is, "let me tell you something." it's in book

whoa, tomorrow we're seeing double. our look alikes. you first. >> lara's turn. "gma" live coming up. don't go anywhere.
